Still recovering

Now that we have had a day to recover from Bonnaroo, we feel that it is safe to say a day is not enough.

For us, Bonnaroo was one week of working the night shift (8pm-8am), eating way to much meat and not enough veggies.  For the 80,000 people who came to Bonnaroo, it was four days of non-stop drugs, alcohol, and generally poor hygiene.  Usually, Manchester is a tiny blip on the map with a population of nearly 3,000 people, but for four days every year 80,000 people camp out at Bonnaroo on a 700 acre farm.  We had a few opportunities to drive through the campsites to witness the craziness.  We've been trying to figure out ways to describe what we saw but words would be inadequate.  So, you'll just have to watch the slide show. 

Overall, we had a great time at Bonnaroo.  Jay-Z, Dave Matthews Band, Zac Brown Band and John Fogerty were all amazing shows but were almost upstaged by the thunder and lightning storm we had today.   We met some really great people, enojyed the Manchester Rec Center, and of course - Waffle House.
